Minor Salivary Gland Histopathology, Major Salivary Gland Ultrasonography, and Secretory Function in Smoking Patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Several studies have reported a protective effect of smoking with regard to risk for primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and minor salivary gland inflammation. To…Abstract Number: 1878 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Utility of the Omeract Ultrasound Tenosynovitis Scoring System in Multicenter Clinical Trials
Background/Purpose :Tenosynovitis is very common in patients with RA and is associated with lower physical function. Several studies have confirmed the limitations of clinical examination…Abstract Number: 143 • 2017 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
Influence of Age and Sex on Collagen-Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Age and sex differences are found in certain subsets of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Collagen Induced Arthritis (CIA) in rodents has utility in assessing…Abstract Number: 934 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Joint Space Narrowing Is an Independent Predictor of Radiographic and MRI Damage Progression in Patients with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) osteitis and synovitis have been identified as predictors of structural damage progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)1,2, but the predictive value…Abstract Number: 3177 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Targeted Nuclear Imaging for the Early Detection of Lung Involvement in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the main causes of systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related deaths. Since routine diagnostics such as high resolution computed tomography…Abstract Number: 1276 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sensitive SPECT/CT Imaging of Fibroblast Activation Protein Expression after Anti-IL-22 Treatment in Experimental Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial tissue has been demonstrated to express high levels of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) using anti-FAP-antibody 28H1. In addition, RA patients…Abstract Number: 1279 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Imaging of Ankylosing Spondylitis By [18f]Fluoride PET-CT to Assess Bone Formation Activity and to Monitor Anti-TNF Therapy
Background/Purpose: Bone formation is an important hallmark of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Recently, we demonstrated that axial bone formation activity in AS patients can be visualized…Abstract Number: 1281 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Feasibility and Reliability of the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada Sacroiliac Joint Inflammation Score for Children with Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: We lack a method to quantify severity of inflammation in the pediatric sacroiliac joint. We evaluated the reliability and construct validity of the Spondyloarthritis…Abstract Number: 1282 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Feasibility and Reliability of the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada Sacroiliac Joint Structural Score for Children with Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: There is a critical need for measures to evaluate structural progression in the pediatric sacroiliac joint. We aimed to evaluate the precision and construct…Abstract Number: 1288 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluating Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Using Global Assessment of 18f-FDG Uptake in the Joints
Background/Purpose: Clinical imaging modalities in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) such as MRI and ultrasound can detect morphologic changes associated with synovial inflammation. 18F-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission…Abstract Number: 131 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Analysis of Correlation and Causes for Discrepancy Between Quantitative and Semi Quantitative Doppler Scores in Synovitis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Doppler ultrasound plays an increasing role for monitoring disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aimed to evaluate the association between two semi-quantitative…
